Good point. As a long time (lived here since 1979) Austin resident I can tell you that it's a lot of fun to live here, in particular for someone in their 20's or 30's. There are a bunch of live music clubs, several large music festivals, SXSW, lakes and the Hill Country for biking, rivers to tube on, etc... On top of this the University of Texas main campus (~50K students) is located here and there are other universities in addition. This city is a magnet in Texas and surrounding states for tech talent unlike say, Waco because people want to live here.
